Randomly writing CSV data in PHP

Today’s project: add or replace values in a comma-separated-value file. The application is for tag-counting by week, so the first column is effectively an ID column & the rest (for me) are integers. But here’s the code with some sample data grabbed from a random Google search..
<?
/************** Vars ***************/

And there’s no reason why a quick photo-viewer, calculator, contacts & datebook cannot also be in this sidebar (especially if cache’d & synced from Google!) All this sidebar stuff is too perfect. Why not make a Window Manager that runs specific apps in specific ‘frames’ (yes, like HTML old-skool style). The frames are resizable & collapsable. Ths is so (similar but) much more useful than a tiling WM.
